Melai Cantiveros loves her teeth
Kapamilya comedienne-host Melai Cantiveros said that she has no intention of changing how her teeth look,
Melai rose to fame after winning the Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up edition in 2009. From that, she was given opportunities in showbiz as she became part of various Kapamilya shows and movies.
Even though she now has all the means to change her physical being, there is something in her that she does not want to change at all.
In a recent interview, based on the article in PEP, Melai Cantiveros wants to leave her teeth as how they were before she even entered showbiz.
When asked if she is not ashamed or feeling awkward, she said, “Nasiyahan na kasi ako sa ngipin ko, bakit ko pa babaguhin? Alam ko na ang choreography sa pagkain ko.” She added that her teeth are not the worst.
On the other hand, she is not totally closing her doors. “Pero kung maging worse, open naman ako sa pustiso,” the comedienne-host said.
When it comes to her two daughters, Mela, 9, and Stella, 7, Melai is already being careful. She would bring them to the dentist to care for their teeth so that what happened to her would not be repeated to her children.
“Kung ako, kulang ako, si Mela ibahin ninyo, sumobra. Sabi ko sa kanya, mag-donate ka ng ngipin, patung-patong ang ngipin niya,” Melai quipped.
The comedienne-host also shared that she thinks having the kind of teeth that she has is inherited. “Feeling ko it runs in the family talaga. Yung aking mga tiyahin ganito rin, e, small, medium, large din ang pagtubo ng ngipin nila,” Melai said.
She added that back in their barrio, they had no access to the dentist. They had to go to the city if they wanted to see a dentist. With this, Melai Cantiveros said that she realized how important it was to pay attention to dental care.
